On October 19, the content management tutor,Vasileios, had asked us to attend the startup weekend Bahrain that was to be held at the Polytechnic. I, along with the Web Media students had attended this event on October 25 with our tutors Owen and Vas.
The presentation was a bit long but very informative. The speaker talked about what startups are and how they work. From what I understood, startups are events that occur in many countries around the world in which developers, coders, designers, business folks and entrepreneurs gather to work together on thier on ideas for products and/or business startups.
Something like that....
I really liked the whole idea of having to work with strangers and establish connections and networking with like minded people, as well as the experienced from the industry if they will be there. Add to that, the fact that you might be working so hard you'll have to sleep over in the workplace on the weekend is interesting
I personally don't have a definite idea to go with, but I certainly want to participate regardless of whether I have have an idea or not and what I'm exactly going to do. In other words, I just want to be there exactly like when I wanted to just enroll at the Polytechnic, because I thought I belonged there.
